An entire town is washed away in minutes. Panicked residents try to escape as the waters rush toward them. It sounds like something out of a disaster movie, but it’s horribly, terrifyingly real. Mashable points to the new footage of the Japan tsunami, posted on YouTube last week, and Charlie White deems it “the most horrifying yet.” More videos here and here.

Pay attention to the last 15 seconds of the video and watch for the man in the blue jacket that runs down the hill to help a couple of people are having trouble dragging something up with them. He starts to help the man in the red jacket with something but just as soon as the water hits their legs, he gets swept away but the man in red looks to make it but then the video cuts off. There is probably little doubt what happened to the man in blue. That is really intense to watch.
